Reflection

At first I thought we were asked to create a real blog for the real library users. That task seemed overwhelming but at the same time exciting. The reason my blog got named Russian Story time is because I thought I would use it with the Russian families attending my programs and post information/resources useful for the group. It turned out my blog was created just for reporting my progress... Some disappointment there but also big relief.

I am happy I had the opportunity to learn about web 2.0, it does not seen to be Terra Incognita to me any longer, even though I still feel like a stranger in this domain.

If I could make any suggestions, I would recommend to have it set up more like a group exercise under the supervision of an experienced user, where participants could share ideas and help each other.

I would also like to see more individual approach. For instance, children's staff could create the blogs about their programming for the library users (kind of what I had in mind in the beginning). I'd like to explore this possibility and also take any future training available.

Thank you! It was fun and also very useful.

Gaming

Happy it is nothing more complicated. I got quite overwhelmed with 2.0 web possibilities already. games are fun, but I always feel inner resistance when my kids are playing. Real life is so much important!
